First time posting after 9 solid years on Reddit. Thanks for the welcome

I am here now. Just signed up. Mod of /r/bicycling, /r/sanfrancisco, and a few other smaller subs. The whole thing is a mess right now, so I wanted to see if there are greener pastures here. Any tips are welcome. I literally have no idea what I'm doing.

I wasn't thrilled at the idea of leaving Reddit after 14 years but some things cannot be avoided. My first post here on Lemmy. Thank you for the warm welcome!

When will we get our own persistently-broken video player? That's super important for my quality use experience.

I've been here a week or two now. It's going better than Voat did for me when I last tried to leave Reddit. That was full of alt-right crazies basically, but so far here, people have been lovely.

My goodness me. This place rocks. Like the way the internet used to be. Fuck corporate greed. Fuck ads. Fuck egocentric dictatorships. And hello to The Future.

This atmosphere has good vibe. Goodbye RIF, hello Lemmy 👋

Thanks, so far Lemmy is looking like an interesting place with good vibes all round!

Closed Reddit account and embarking on this new adventure with lemmy.

Wait... Where am I? I'm getting withdrawal symptoms. 11 years wandering the Reddit... I'm lost, a little confused, possibly afraid.

I'm going to build my own Reddit, with blackjack and hookers!

Hiii im here from reddit but, when i tried to post the post has been being uploaded for the past 2 hours, also loading communities and upvoting has been EXTREMELY slow ;'D

btw this is a hella cool site

Hey, hello community this is my first comment on Lemmy, good to see you all.

Really hope this takes off and remains open and non-commercial.

Bathroom's that way.

First post! 🤸

I sense a real opportunity for the Fediverse off the back of Reddit and third party apps porting across.

If the UX (user experience) is similar then it'll more than likely pull people across.

So far the communities have been extremely friendly and it is a breath of fresh air

Thanks! I mostly lurked on reddit for many years (as a Digg refugee), and I want to try and get out of that rut and actually contribute some content here. Wish me luck!

Incoming user from reddit! My app got shut down. I was salty about it so I decided that I was going to find an alternative, rather than use the official app, and I found lemmy! I like the community vibe so far. I'm still figuring out how different communities and instances work together with federating. I was always more of a lurker on reddit, but I might try to become a more active commenter (for community engagement!)

Redditor here. Feeling a little lost and confused. :)

Lasted one day on the official reddit app. Sadly the readability of it with the massive amounts of ads and sponsored posts makes me rather not use reddit at all.

Glad lemmy seems to genuinely be an upcoming alternative!

Nothing better than being greeted with Futurama, for the Fediverse when new episodes of Futurama drop in July! (I'm extremely excited for the new season)

Thank you for the welcome.

Bye bye Reddit. Hope they collapse after getting rid of 3rd party apps. Reddit is Fun was my shit. I gotta find a Lemmy equivalent so I can get off my phone's web browser.

Well it was a good ride at Reddit. I was using Reddit since since 2006 as a lurker. Lemmy is now my home. Hi all!

Cautiously optimistic about the migration. Reddit had gotten pretty weird.

I've only been here for two weeks and already have seen major improvements. Thankful to the admins for their hard work, and glad to see the wonderful people here contributing to this platform's awesome growth. Loving it here and wishing continued success to the fediverse :)

Here we go.

im very happy to redditn't

Hello. Glad to be here. I'm not going back to reddit, they nuked Sync for Reddit and I refuse to use reddit app.

Former reddit user here. I hope that this site grows and prospers and I look forward to discovering replacement communities for subreddits I've used.

Today was my first day on the Fediverse via Lemmy.world, and I was so happy to see a Futurama Community among the top posts right when I logged in!

I hope it's also okay to say that I just created /c/Disenchantment for my fellow fans of a slightly related show. 😄

Any Futurama fans that also like Disenchantment and our one true Queen Bean please come join!

I already like the vibe of this place more, at least socially. The site is a bit cumbersome but I'm willing to stick with it to see how it can get better. Plus Sync for Lemmy will be coming and then my life will be fixed.

Hi, all! This is my first comment on Lemmy. I’m exited to be here!

It’s sad watching Reddit go the way of the dodo, but I’m happy to see everyone come together to give the big ole fuck you to u/spez in solidarity and migrate over when they effectively broke Apollo and the other 3pd apps

This all reminds me of the big Digg migration. Reddit likes to think that people chose it because it was special. For a good majority of us, especially the 10+ year accounts, it was Digg's terrible redesign and very poor product decisions. The nail in the coffin was not understanding its core content producing users willingness to move. History repeats itself.

Here from RiF! First post on Lemmy, here's to a bright future ^^

Rest in peace RIF. I was honestly heartbroken. I know how sad that must sound, but goddamn, I used it daily for 6 years. It made my office hours and daily commute on the subway so much better.

Just migrated from reddit, and I’m really excited to see Lemmy gain popularity and grow! This is about to be my next addiction.

Rip Rif. Hello Lemmy.

Thanks! 11yr RiF user here and using Jerboa now, it's different but similar feeling:)
